Fox is developing a half-hour sitcom based on the supermarket tabloid Weekly World News.

Scribes John Aboud and Michael Colton (“Leverage”) are on board to turn the rag — known for its coverage of all things UFO, Bigfoot, Elvis (who’s apparently still alive) and other anomalies – into a sitcom.

The Weekly World News which boasted that it told nothing but the truth no matter how outlandish the report stopped printing in 2007. The paper continues via its website, however, recently confirming that XBox Kinect was created by aliens and that rapper Lil’ Wayne planned to join the priesthood, among other stories.
